Tony Lee Moral is a documentary filmmaker and writer who has produced a number of award winning films around the world. His work includes behind the scenes profiles of film and television dramas, science fiction and animation.
Moral's research is impressive....he relies extensively on the
special collection of Hitchcock materials deposited at the Margaret
Herrick Library of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
after the director's death. He has supplemented this material with
a series of interviews he conducted with many of those who worked
on the film including...Diane Baker, Robert Boyle, Sean Connery,
Winston Graham...and Tippi Hedren....a firstrate history of the
development of Marnie...

*Film Review*
Moral has written a thoughtful, definitely well researched and
strong study on the process of how this film was adapted,
constructed, filmed and marketed as well as a great deal of
attention to the original book’s author, Winston Graham and how it
was changed and adapted as a very different screenplay by Evan
Hunter who had just finished working on The Birds for Hitchcock was
employed to write a draft.
